A Selective Process

Applying to an EMBA program is a commitment of your time. Before you begin an application, our team will reach out to you. We want to learn more about your goals to ensure our EMBA program is the right fit for you and that you are a good fit for the program.

Program Details

The program is tailored for mid-career professionals from a diverse set of industry backgrounds and is highly selective. 

Admission Criteria

This is a competitive and limited enrollment program that requires a fastidious admission process to determine a candidate’s qualifications and experience.

• 4-year bachelor’s degree in any discipline
• B average (73-77%) in the two most recent years of university study
• Considerable work experience, including a significant amount in a managerial capacity (7+ years)
• Demonstration of English proficiency (written and oral)
• Exceptions: DeGroote will consider non-degree applicants if they have a minimum of 12-years managerial experience. If candidates fall short on work experience or degree requirements, they will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be required to write a GMAT.

Admission Process

If you are applying to the EMBA program, the following lays out our admission process step-by-step:

1. Initial interview with EMBA admissions team to:
   • Discuss candidacy and qualifications
   • Book interview with EMBA Academic Director if moving forward with application

   • Determine fit and discuss expectations
   • Determine if additional requirements are needed (TOEFL/IELTS for international candidates and/or GMAT for candidates that do not meet the minimum work experience or degree requirements)
3. Invitation to apply (if eligible). A full application will include:
   • Official transcript (under seal) from each post-secondary institution attended
   • Two professional references/letters of recommendation
   • Letter from employer confirming support of applicant in taking this program
